Consumptives should use food as nourishing
as can be had, and in a shape that will best
agree with the stomach and taste Of the pa
tient.
Outdoor exercise Is earnestly recommended
II you are unable to take such exercise on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself indoors, but you
should take exercise in a carriage, or IN some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which cause e1pectoration must
be avoided. For five hundred years ply
sicans have tried to cure Consumption by
using them, and have failed. Where there Is
great arrangement Of the secretions, with
engorgement of air-cells, there Is always
profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure re-
moves the enlargement and the arrangement
of the secretions, and consequently tand In
this way only diminishes the amount Of mat
ter expectorated. This medicine does not dry
up o cough, but removes the cause Of 1t.
When 1t is impossible from debility or other
causes to exercise freely in the open air, apart
ments occupied by the patient should be 30
ventilated as to ensure the constant accession
Of fresh air in abundance.

The Influence Of the Saloon.

What would be thought of the medi-
cal administration which, in the time OF
great epidemic, concerned itself chiefly
in providing additional hospital accom-
modations, and paid no attenti, n to the
origin and mode of prevention of the
prevailing disease9 In the case of the
saloon in society the facts are continually
in evidence. Our police courts are main
ly occupied with the petty offenses which
spring directly or indirectly from drink.
Through them drift the myriad wrecks
which strew the path of progress. In
them is exhibited, every day and all day,
the extent, depth, paralyzlng influence,
of the saloon. 1t is bad enough in poll
tics, but its social effects, especially
among the poor, are as those of q pesti-
lence. The cruder element of the COM
munity is brutalized and retarded in its
growth BY this influence. Another ele-
ment, that Of the physically or intellec-
tually feeble always considerable, and
increasing with the growth of competi-
tive pressure), is condemned to q
wretched fate by the same instrumental
ity. The people whe have not the ener-
gy of mind or body to form clear and
practical purposes, or to put them in
operation if formed, are the easiest VIC
tins of the saloon. As rule they are
sensitive, often morbidly so. They
brood over their weakness and their
failure. Naturally prone to depression,
they become jaundiced and desponding.
From that state of mind to the craving
for any kind of stimulant the transition
is natural and swift, and the saloon does
the rest. There are thousands of fami-
lies doomed to indigence, disappoint-
ment, misery, through life, that might
have lived at least in decent poverty and
with self-respeet, but to-day are plunged
in hopeless ruin by drink, and are sink
ing out of sight in the quicksand.-At-
lantic Monthly.
Tho Saloon Going.
The saloon is going. OF the seven
teen cities of Massachusetts, which held
election last week, thirteen voted ''no
license.". Fall River, New Bedford,
Haverhill, Gloucester, Springfield, Wal
than, Northampton, Brockton and Cam
bridge, all of which voted for license
last year, have this year joined the ranks
of temperance cities. The liquor deal
ers of the State are greatly alarmed over
the prospect and are holding secret
meetings to advance their interests.
Their Protective Association has issued
circular which says: Immediate and
active work is absolutely necessary by
the liquor element of Massachusetts, to
fight the enemy" Speaking of the re-
suit of last weeks election the Boston
TRAILER says: ''It is not only in the
highest degree gratifying, but it is de-
cidedly significant Of the growth of an
anti-saloon sentiment and conviction
on the part of the people that prohibi-
ton can be made to prohibit. It will
encourage the friends of temperance in
the cities where elections are yet to be
held to make a supreme effort to free the
municipalities of Massachusetts, srom the
curse and power of the saloon. ."-New

A Raid on the $4,000 Bandit.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. l0.-Erandio Bernall
and his little band Of bandits have
caused the Mexican government a vast
deal OF trouble, and caused a reign Of
terror In MsZatalin, having destroyed
many towns and murdered 200 people
within the last year. So formidable
was he that tie price Of $4,000
has been placed on his head, and
large force OF military and
civilians are now on the warpath
under command OF Gen. Emiliano Lo-
jero. The 9th regiment lie securing Mil
pas mountains; the 18th regiment and
citizens took the country between Or
ranca, Barbas and Boca Del Potrero,
and a body Of mounted men were Or
dered to cross from Santa Clara to the
mouth Of Boca Del Potrero. Five
days after setting out, Colonel
Meraz encountered the bandits
at Tulsr lake, and on being reinforced
by General Lojero, attacked the out
laws camp, killing four and wounding
several. The bandits then escaped in
to the Tular mountains. The attack
ing force lost one man killed and one
man wounded. In the captured camp
were found rifles and ammunition, which
indicated that the bandits are we'll sup
piled with weapons. In the fight
the bandits separated, but 1t
